Love Island USA's Olandria Carthen threatens legal action after claims that she is 'hooking up' with Travis Scott following Nic Vansteenberghe split

The villa drama never really ends, does it? Just when fans thought they could catch their breath after the Love Island USA Season 8 winners were announced, the internet has been served a fresh platter of tea. Nic Vansteenberghe and Olandria Carthen, one of the show's most talked-about couples from Season 7, have called it quits, and the rumour mill is working overtime. From whispers of a PR relationship to a shocking new claim involving rapper Travis Scott, here's everything you need to know about the latest reality TV storm.


The reality TV romance between Olandria and Nic has officially run its course. After a year of coupledom that began in the Love Island USA villa, the pair decided to part ways, with sources citing the classic relationship killer: distance and busy schedules. While a source told People that the split was amicable and the two "remain close friends" who "share a deep love and respect for each other," fans weren't so sure about the lack of drama.

Fans immediately reignited the age-old speculation that "Nicolandria" was nothing more than a PR relationship. The couple constantly faced scrutiny about the authenticity of their romance. Olandria herself had previously addressed the speculation, telling Cosmopolitan in a since-viral interview, "Why is it your business? Are your bills getting paid? Are you touch-deprived? Go get a man."


Deuxmoi, the infamous celebrity gossip Instagram account, posted a screenshot of an anonymous tip that sent shockwaves through the fandom. The tipster claimed, "Now that the pr relationship is over, Olandria has been hooking up with Travis Scott." When Deuxmoi pressed for certainty, the source replied, "I'm pretty sure, been hearing rumblings through the rumour mill months ago." The post came with a big 'rumour' stamp.

The rumour connects Olandria's recent single status to a high-profile hookup with the Grammy-nominated rapper. It also suggests that Ola and Travis have been 'hooking up' for months, which means Nicolandria were over a long time ago? The gossip immediately summoned Love Island fans as they debated the legitimacy of the claims, questioning whether the reality star had upgraded from her island romance to a music superstar.

Olandria did not stay silent for long. In a fiery response, she clapped back at the allegations in the comments of the post, showing she was ready to fight fire with legal action. She commented, "I hope you have your lawyers ready bc I have mine." It was a bold move, signaling that the star wasn't about to let a rumor slide. It seems Deuxmoi was unfazed, replying, "just dmed you their email."


Olandria didn't entertain the banter further and simply blocked the account. So, did she deny the rumours? Pretty much.

The internet had a field day. Fans were divided between defending Olandria and dragging the gossip page. One user wrote, "That girl knew what she was doing, she weaponizes her fanbase to attack people. That's exactly what she did for the Met Gala and other islanders," suggesting Olandria was using her influence to dodge the mess she created. Another added, "Why are people upset you posted this, that's literally what your entire page is about: celebrity gossip. Guess people get offended when it's their favs getting posted."

Some fans questioned the credibility of the page itself, with one writing, "I thought this account posted confirmed information only; what's the point of posting a rumor? Anybody could make up anything." However, others came to Deuxmoi's defense, pointing out the obvious disclaimer. One user noted, "I'm confused, the post has a giant sticker that says 'rumor' on it. Unless that's been added after the fact, this account isn't claiming any of this is factual lol. That is not defamation and would not hold in any court of law so why is everyone so up in arms?" The same user also expressed confusion as to why people were calling this a smear campaign.


It's a messy web of speculation and fan loyalty, with everyone picking sides in this unexpected celebrity showdown. It's noteworthy that Indiatimes could not independently verify these claims, and fans will have to wait for more than a blind item to believe Ola's new relationship update, if there is one.
